[edit] Biography

Bobby Estalella (Robert M Estalella) was born on August 23, 1974 in Hialeah, Florida. He made his Major League debut on September 17, 1996 for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 1998, his rookie year, he hit .188 with 8 home runs and 20 RBI. Estalella played for the Philadelphia Phillies, San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees, Colorado Rockies, Toronto Blue Jays and Arizona Diamondbacks over the course of his 9 year career.

Estalella's name was also in the Mitchell Report. It was said that he was implicated in the BALCO scandal.

"Ellen Harrigan, an administrator in the Dodgers' scouting department, kept detailed notes of a Dodgers meeting to discuss the possible signing of Estalella. Among the comments she recorded was an observation by one of the participants that Estalella was a "poster boy for the chemicals."

Most people believe that Bobby Estalella's best season was 2000, when he knocked in 53 runs.
